“…Problems with obtaining accurate dietary intake measures (Black et al, 1991;Schoeller, 1990) and lack of knowledge of the relationship between¯uid and FI preclude conclusive statements. While the impact of altering dietary ED using differing nutrients, on EI and EB is beginning to emerge in laboratory studies lasting up to two weeks (Lissner et al, 1987;Kendall et al, 1991;Thomas et al, 1992;Stubbs et al, 1995aStubbs et al, , 1997aO'Reilly et al, 1997), the extent to which humans adapt FB to changes in the dietary ED over longer periods is unknown. The few longer-term interventions that have altered the nutrient density of certain foods have shown relatively good compensation over periods of a few months (Aaron et al, 1999;Gatenby et al, 1995;Zimmermans et al, undated).…”
